Yes it is like GW2 in that respect, however, how battles go and who wins will change with time as tactics change. Right now when in pvp the only thing people know how to do is go where everyone else is. People will figure out new tactics, I suspect small group tactics to take small places in mass while a large group puts pressure on castles to hold defenders in place. People have yet to identify who knows what they are doing. Havent seen a lot of Leaders on the battlefield that you can trust in their decisions, so right now it is mob rule. Just like GW2 leaders will emerge and the battle will change over time to be more complicated with multiple units working in coordination instead of being a giant mob just running around the battlefield without a clear strategy.

Yeah its really too early to think that's how it will be.
lets give it a few weeks at least to see how things shape up.
In time things may very well change.

the reason theres nothing but the zerg is theres so few abilitys/skills that theres only a few diff build types being employed which leads to a overly boreing experience in a lot of cases.

This could not at all be farther from the truth. Like, this is so far beyond inaccurate it defies description.

I still feel that there is some strategy involved in which castle to attack. Last night i had it that Ebonheart was fighting the dominion (I'm Daggerfall Covenant) so we exploited the situation and attacked castles that both of them could not defend.

We were only a group of 25 but managed to take 3 castles even though we where vastly outnumbered. The problem lies most of the time with rallying everyone together so they can't be picked off one by one and u fight and move as a unit.

grats Bear and group on their cap.

I do think server balance and peak playtime is a factor is how much "zerg" you canget away with. on AB it's full or heavy load most of the time and just last night we had to make the call to abandon one of our favorite keeps to save the scroll after a blue wave that started out with 20-30 ended up an ocean in a push that drove us from ASH-->BB. on the final castle BB they had more numbers than they had on any of the other fights but like I said we made the call to give up one city to retain that and it was a tough fight even then, but they were driven back and we took our keeps back...

of course in a 3way fight there's never really a lull lol. Sometimes the biggest army does walk away with the shiny but there is less traditional zerg mentality here than in other overland PvP or RvR. A lot has to do with how organized the opposition is. As time goes the pvP guilds will be more and more that structure but it is very early to judge based on imbalanced servers yet. IMO
